This week's prompt for Scribble Picnic is STARS.
I was thinking of the Don McLean song 'Vincent' where part of the lyrics are
Starry, starry night,
Paint your palette blue and grey
SO, a starry night sky was in order. I will admit that this was my third attempt as I've never done a night sky in watercolours before. I have done a few in acrylics with reasonable results but that's it.

In keeping with my thought process for the prompt this week, I've included the music video clip of the song - Vincent. Enjoy!

This is so lovely Serena, very challenging in watercolour I am sure, getting all those stars done.
Thanks, Christine! The stars were actually the easiest and quickest part as I just spattered them on with white gouache. :)
Great post, Mum! I love your starry night picture, really does look amazing, and you did a great job with watercolour in my opinion! Don McLean's "Vincent" is a great song to be inspired by.
Love Brad xo
That's beautiful Serena!!! I love the colours and the effect of the white. I have a starry kind of sky painting half done that I couldn't finish in time, but when I do, I'll post it on IG. :)
very pretty! :D great colours and light to it :)
Oh, I love your watercolor starry night!! And I always liked that song. :)
That turned out beautifully!
Hadn't heard the song for a long time. It takes me right back a few :-) years!
I do love that song. And your starry night turned out wonderfully.
Serena, amazing the way you did this with only anthirdnattempt. I think I couldn’t ever do that, let alone as well, I amzing! Thank you so much.
Thanks, Brad! xo
Thanks, Rain. Your starry painting turned out great!
Thanks, Rita. I've always liked the song too.
Thanks, Jolene. :)
Thanks, Tammy. :)
Thanks, Michael. The trick, which I found out the hard way, is not to fiddle with the sky colours too much...once the stars get spattered on, it really brings it altogether.
